Conway Truckload Drivers what is your 20?

The roads were pretty clear up until we go into Helena and it started snowing it was like Conway jinxed us because it wasn't doing anything and then when they sent that message out about Montana getting 5-20 inches it started and kept on snowing,we got a load picking up in Eden,ID going to Hagerstown,MD and on the way down it got really bad in a few spots, right now in Eden it sunny and nice I think we're picking hay up but not sure, but we're also going right into the Salt lake City winter snow, fun fun fun, be safe and stay warm

Just picked up a load of alfaha pellets now onto Maryland got be there by Monday, 2 other Conway driver there and afew others showed up earlier, wouldn't have thought it

 

Put truck in shop for A/C while on a week's hometime. Go to pick it up yesterday & the air pressure is taking forever to build up. Back in the shop...


Go to pick it up this morning after a new regulator and the air is at 0 & 15. Hmm, this doesnt seem promising... 3 minutes of revving & it is at 60psi... Hand the keys back to the manager & tell him it is still building too slow.

3 hours later they say they don't see anything wrong can I show them the problem. I tell them its 20 miles each way and I'm getting tired of the drive. Well they don't see a problem, come pick it up...

Drive back to them, grab the service manager, start the truck and fan the preasure down to 60. After a while the preasure is 65. I turn on my phone's stop watch and wait a minute. 75psi... This is taking too long I say. "that's just how these prostars are" he says. Well it wasn't this way for the last 130,000+ miles. "Let me check the book" he says... Book says something like 75sec to fully charge. Mechanic revs it to 1500 rpm and times it. 90 sec later the air dryer purgers. "oh sorry" he says.


Did see a nice preplan to Calgary tomorrow -- really hoping they have the new compressor in by morning.

 

I need a new air tank yellow

Bubbled up at the weld

....won't be in till Monday

What's this crap about us not getting hotels anymore... smh. this place just keeps getting crummier.

I might also be sitting Cargo -- shop says prostar compressors may be on national backorder. Eeek! Won't know for sure until morning, but its looking like I'll lose this 1650 mile run...
